Having a Linux computer is like being a gearhead with a car in the garage that you love to tinker with. The radio's busted and you've never been able to fix it, but you've built the engine exactly to your specifications and you can endlessly swap tips with other gearheads.

On the other hand, if you're not the type who likes to pop open the hood and get your hands dirty, and you just want something that won't crap out on you when you need a working vehicle, then you should probably buy a Mac.
